Coach Christian Ilzer changed his system, in a 4-2-3-1 formation Alexandar Borkovic began left in the back four. Thomas Ebner and James Jeggo started as two fierce defensive midfielders. In front of them Manprit Sarkaria and Maximilian Sax ought to put some pressure on the opposing team. Alexander Grünwald started behind goal scorer Christoph Monschein.
For SV Mattersburg Markus Kuster replaced Tino Casali in the goal. Coach Franz Ponweiser switched from a five-man to a four-man defensive after a 3-0 defeat against Red Bull Salzburg. Patrick Salomon, Marko Kvasina and Andreas Kuen were new in the starting eleven.
The game started with a chance for the guests from Burgenland (Kvasina missed the goal in the first minute), but then Austria Wien took over command. Manprit Sarkaria - this season for the first time in the starting eleven - made an impact in the beginning phase. After a cross by Christoph Monschein, the former violet rookie shot over the goal from promising position (2’), another shot was deflected and parried by Markus Kuster (3’). In the 12th minute, Sarkaria started a solo from his own penalty area, but failed to score in the end. Shortly after, the ball landed in the goal: Max Sax kicked a corner, Michael Madl brought the defended ball back into the box, where Alexander Grünwald scored the 1-0 for Austria Wien (14’).
The “Violets” remained game-defining, a shot by Florian Klein from an acute angle landed on the crossbar (24’). SV Mattersburg had another chance through Marko Kvasina, Ivan Lučić remained the winner in the duel with the former “Violet” (30’). Sax came to a header after a cross by Sarkaria, Kuster parried the ball, a shot by Sarkaria a few seconds later went next to the goal (33’). Erik Palmer-Brown had a huge chance after a corner and poor defence of Mattersburg, however, his shot from close range went over the goal (36’), Kuster was on the spot after a long-range shot by Sax (39’). Mattersburg had the last chance in the first half, Lučić saved against Jano.
A clearly superior Austria Wien (11-3 shots) went into the dressing rooms with a deserved but tight lead.
After little success with goals from standard situations during the this season the second goal was also scored after a corner: Manprit Sarkaria brought the ball to the centre, Thomas Ebner used Burgenland’s short defence and scored his first Bundesliga goal in the violet jersey (50’) - an ideal start into the second half.
The game continued in one direction only: A shot by Christoph Monschein and a free-kick by Alexander Grünwald were parried by Markus Kuster (61’, 67’). After a nice combination over Grünwald, Sarkaria, Sax and Monschein the latter missed the goal (68’). In a counterattack over Monschein the last pass on Max Sax fell a few centimetres too steep, a header by Sarkaria went past the goal (70’, 72’). In between, a goal by substitute Patrick Bürger was rightly not recognized because of an offside position (69’). Another goal by Mattersburg’s veteran counted - Bürger headed the ball into the goal after a corner by Salomon - 2-1 (77’).
Christian Ilzer brought fresh forces for the final phase with Dominik Prokop, Tarkan Serbest and Bright Edomwonyi. Max Sax, Jimmy Jeggo and Christoph Monschein left the pitch. Austria Wien successfully defended the narrow lead and started the international break with a 2-1 home victory.
